Editorial Review: Product Description: John Digweed concludes the first chapter of his Transitions series with a bang Since it's launch Transitions has become one of - if not - the most anticipated releases in the compilation calendar; over the past two years its single disc, twice-yearly format has provided dance music fans a regular, contemporary snapshot of the best in electronic dance music. Transitions Vol. 4 features a whopping 22 tracks and remixes from Two Lone Swordsmen, Claude VonStroke, Loco Dice, Jerome Sydenham and Tiger Stripes, Pig and Dan, Guy J and many more Now the first chapter in the Transitions' series reaches its conclusion with the highly anticipated fourth volume. In support of the album, John has reunited with former DJ partner Sasha for an extensive US tour that includes a highly anticipated Coachella appearance. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - After a smashing start.. what happened?With one of the best starting sequences I've ever in any album, I was excited about transitions 4. However, the truth is there is nothing worth writing home about beyond track 3 (which is absolutely delicious, I may add). What a shame, after that opening. Rating:  - Deep, dark club houseThis is a very good set. I didn't like Transitions 3, or about half of Digweeds commercial sets (preferring live sets) but this was a suprise. Great heavy drums in the middle and at the end. Rating: - Tight emFire edits & lush soundtrack, mostly weak remixesThis is a mixed bag -- the gems here are on the 2nd disc, because most of the remixes on the 1st disc are droney, boring, and don't add substantially to the originals' worth. For example, "Park It In The Shade (Audion Deep Steeple Mix)" is 12:20 min. long, but fails to really evolve aside from formulaic adding/removing elements in 8-bar sections. As background filler, it sort of works, but isn't compelling active listening. Overall, the remixes package is regressive, sad, and aimless -- the only one I'd speak up for is "Mongoose (The Fields Disco Mix)", because The Field has a rare gift to float hypnotic loops without being mind-numbingly boring. That's really rare in electronic music, and to give you a better idea where I'm coming from, I love ... Read More: Rating:  - A very boring mix. I sold it after 3 listens.A very boring mix. I sold it after 3 listens. It's the tracks... very uneventful and flat. Vol. 3 was not very good either. Digweed is either way on point or totally off for me. Never inbetween. Transitions 2 is the best by far. Checkout his djmag mix. It's pretty good overall. Rating: - Transition to stardomMasterpiece. Pure and simple. As a typical Digweed set, this starts off already deeper than most would have it, and obviously finishes off where nobody could ever think about going to. What I believe has Digweed standing from his brotherhood is his "introverted" quality, more a thinker, a "meta-DJ" if you want. Some may find this set to be boring since it is after all not based on a "housy", "clubby", Miami sing along vibration. Each piece flows to elaborate an intricate homogeneous ensemble in tone and rhythm. Some small element of tribal introduces the set ("From/lands"), beats which get a bit tougher and are sustaining a more electro type of vibe ("In spite", some elements of which I would compare to early Sasha's, mysterious...). ...
